For God so...
God is supreme and majestic. His power is endless and his sovereignty is without question. He has met no match, nor he will ever meet in all eternity anyone who is even close to who He is.
He has shown me that the reason why I've been so miserable, the reason why these things happen, the reason why everything in this world happens is so that we, those who are blessed to know Him, see Him at work, and understand that apart from Him nothing exists, nothing is, nothing ever is sufficient without Him.
He has a story to write. A story where the main character is Him, and we are the lucky extras. He unfolds his story through us, and all we can do is sit back and watch.
I just had an unexpected time of brokenness. Again, it was at the notes of a Hillsong track.
Tomorrow I have the most important meeting in my life. Where, the next years of my life will be decided. I don't like it that so much is decided in less than 40 minutes tops. It seems.. so.. easy. Life cannot, should not be decided in such a short period of time.
In this time of brokenness, it is my conviction, simply because by faith I believe that God is a miracle maker, that he took me to a scripture, one of my favorite scriptures of all time. Daniel 3. The Fire Furnace.
Many things are remarkable about this scripture. Besides the miraculous deliverance, the character those 3 Hebrew boys had not to bow down to idols... what remains interesting is what happened to their clothes.
These 3 guys were thrown to the furnace, tied up, their hands had no where to go. Probably their legs were as well. They had no where to go. They were trapped in an impossible situation.
What happens later is amazing. An angel of the Lord came and walked with them inside the furnace. The king and his servants in disbelief took the 3 men out and checked them.
The Bible says that their garments were all in perfect shape. Not even their heads smelled like fire. Not one of their hairs was burned by the fire. What's interesting is that the only thing that was burned were the binds. Verse 25 says: "Look! Nebuchadnezzar shouted, 'I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire. They aren't even hurt by the flames! And the fourth one looks like a divine being!"
They were not touched by the fire. They walked around in it, and they were not bounded anymore.
Isaiah 43:2 says:
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I certainly hope something, but truth be told, I don't know what the best is for me, He does. I'm in the furnace right now. I have no where to go.
